Low Beds

Recent figures show that of 45,000 people aged over 65 years within one local authority, just over 1 in 3 will fall, 1 in 20 will attend hospital as a result and 1 in 40 will sustain a fracture. The average cost to health (NHS) and social care of a single hip fracture is £30,000.

Our low beds have been designed to benefit users vulnerable to falls from bed through the use of ultra-low undercarriages meaning the user can sleep at a very low surface height. Split side rails with conformance to 60601-2-52 are fitted as standard, which drastically reduces the chance of falling out of bed.

BaKare’s low beds are superior to others in that their design allows hieght adjustment from extra low to high, whilst retaining a low footboard, wheras many others require a very high footboard, creating a boxed in feeling.

An often overlooked benefit of our low beds is that instead of using a mechanical leg lifter to raise the feet, the bed may be lowered closer to the ground with the user sat on the bed and feet on the floor, effectively raising the feet nearer to the mattress height.
